    Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved brother, and uncle Craig. No words could ever convey the pain of your heart, but our loving Creator and Heavenly Father does know. He has promised that very soon this enemy, death, and all the things that bring our hearts pain will be a distant memory-Revelation 21:3/4. Until then please find comfort in knowing that “He (God) is close to the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit he saves”-Psalm 34:18. It is my hope that these passages along with your loving memories of Craig, comfort your hearts and give you a measure of peace during this most difficult time.
